I have come to the conclusion that many Israeli citizens, in particular the militant Zionists, have adopted the martyrdom of the Jewish generations who died horribly in the 1935-1945 Holocaust as their justification for the annihilation of any person, community or nation judged to be an existential threat to the existence of Israel. In doing so they grossly disrespect the dignity and innocence of their martyred forebears who would not countenance the extreme violence and wicked vengeance that is daily displayed in Israel. The violence perpetrated by Hamas is also to be universally condemned.

John, Do you think that if this account was graphically displayed on every US commercial TV channel at evening news time that it would change the nation's slavish tolerance to Netanyahu's psychopathic intentions?

Yes.

Already most (a majority) of younger Americans oppose Israel because of the Gaza genocide. Older Americans are divided and the majority still support Israel because a) they are very educated (more than the youth) about the Holocaust and are rightfully horrified by it and thus sympathetic to Jews, and b) they believe the Zionist lie that says Israeli violence against Palestinians is for the purpose of making Israeli Jews safe and they are very reluctant to take the side (the pro-Palestine side) that they believe (mistakenly) is opposed to that which is necessary to make Israeli Jews safe, and c) NOBODY--not even the anti-Zionism organizations (that are funded by the rich)--refutes the Zionist lie.

The more that the genocide becomes known in all its gory detail, the more difficult it is for those ordinary Americans who support Israel to keep supporting it (for the reasons I gave above), but if they knew the truth--that Zionist violence is NOT for making Israeli Jews safe but rather for creating a Palestinian bogeyman enemy that the billionaire rulers of Israel use to control, severely economically oppress and get rich off of the Israeli Jewish working class, as I prove at https://www.pdrboston.org/israel-s-government-attacks-jews-to --THEN the vast majority of the American public would be SOLIDLY opposed to Israel/Zionism.

So spread the truth and refute the Zionist lie. OK?

Yes, spread the truth. But emphasise the distinction between benign Judaism and nihilistic Zionism. The militant behaviour of Zionists (supported by US hegemony) is the basis for instability in the Middle East.
